    Waxwings, Amblecote, West Midlands.

    Just back from watching 60+ Waxwings in Amblecote, Stourbridge. Flying to a tree top by the Glassworks pub car park and also a tree in front of the VW Garage. The local Gulls seem to be making them a bit flighty! Lovely birds to catch up with and in a good number!

    A gruesome find, an ID anyone? UK

    Spotted this creature on my 'local' walk this morning. It was on a grass embankment on a service road, the service road is adjacent to a normally busy main road in a residential area.

    Leaf-cutter bee nesting in a reclining chair!

    It was a surprise yesterday to see a Leaf-cutter bee attempt to nest in one of the holes in a back leg (stile) of a reclining garden chair! The leaves kept falling out of the bottom of the leg, a pity as the bee had worked hard. Lovely to see such an attempt at close quarters.
